2013 Cadillac XTS Review and Road Test

When sitting in the new 2013 Cadillac XTS you cannot help but be impressed. This new Cadillac is GM's latest entry into the full size luxury market. Bigger than the current CTS and a tiny bit smaller than the outgoing DTS model, the XTS seems to well positioned size wise. The only choice in engines is the 3.6L V6 engine with either front or all wheel drive. With the new XTS Cadillac is hoping to compete with Lexus, Mercedes and other big name luxury brands. A fully loaded XTS will set you back well over $60,000. Walking around the car you notice the styling has an elegance about it. Everything seems to flow very well and there are many nice details such as brake calipers with the Cadillac script on them. It is also worth noting that our Platinum trim level test car had Brembo brakes, a feature that you would expect on a performance car.
